Tips:

  • Chill the dough: Chilling the dough for at least 3 hours, or overnight, helps to firm it up and make it less sticky, which makes it easier to roll out and cut.
  • Use parchment paper: Lining your baking sheets with parchment paper helps to prevent the cookies from sticking and makes cleanup easier.
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are just starting to brown: Overbaking the cookies will make them dry and crumbly. You can check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of a cookie; if it comes out clean, the cookies are done.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing them: This will help to prevent them from becoming soft and crumbly.

Conclusion:

Senn High School Chicago Butter Cookies are a classic holiday treat that is sure to please everyone. They are easy to make and can be customized with different flavors and decorations. With a little planning and effort, you can create a delicious and festive treat that will be enjoyed by all.
